A calm exterior can conceal br The passions which exist below, br most human beings seldom show. br The depth and strength of what they feel br br Which can lead to catastrophe. br When feelings exceed self control br somebody has to pay the toll. br When men react explosively br br br By anger driven we lash out. br Repressed resentment breaking free br both verbally and physically br at anyone who is about. br br Beware the man who quietly br appears prepared to tolerate br your bullying.When it’s too late br you learn he won’t indefinitely. br br Just what a quiet man can do br if he’s provoked sufficiently br he can react and violently. br His target one day may be you. br br You’ve had your fun at his expense. br Exceeded your authority. br You cannot claim you are guilt free. br When he strikes back in self defence. br br He broke your nose and blacked your eyes br A punishment long overdue br I’m backing him and sacking you. br Which should not come as a surprise. br br There is no place in my employ br for those who won’t obey my rules br I have no time for Knaves or fools br who use their talents to destroy. br br So clear your desk.Go quietly br You asked for all that you received br Your tale of woe was not believed br Although you thought that it would be. br br You acted most improperly br I have no choice but fire you br and that is what I choose to do. br For misuse of authority. br br 14-Mar-09 br http: blog.myspace.compoeticpiersbr br ivor or ivor.
